Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Ao Peng studied his supernatural seed for a while and only got the effect of double return for the time being.

However, this is already incredibly amazing.

A pure tanky god-tier skill, meaning that as long as Ao Peng can tank, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will have to take a double hit from him.

It is capable of performing many incredible feats, truly deserving of its name "supernatural power".

After exiting the game, Ao Peng checked the time; it was just past 10 p.m., so he logged onto the Old Earth Games Forum.

He had previously communicated with his younger brother, Ao Wu, and learned about Ao Wu's forum name.

At night, Ao Wu's phone rang while he was doing his homework. He opened his phone and saw a message in the private chat box of Old Earth Games.

[The "Lucky Person" requests to add you as a friend.]

"Lucky Person" is Ao Peng's nickname in the game, and Ao Wu clicks "Yes".

Then the two brothers exchanged a secret code to confirm that it was someone else.

"Brother, I've passed the newbie village. Following your guide, I haven't played much these past two days; I've just been AFK accumulating incense."

Ao Peng was not surprised that his younger brother passed the first level of the game, which was also the reason he contacted Ao Wu.

After truly experiencing the "Peddler's" wealth and prosperity, he realized even more deeply how great the newbie benefits of this system were.

Rather than honing one's martial skills, it's better to secure the tangible benefits first.

"By the way, what is your destiny number?"

"5 taels and 9 mace, brother, what's your destiny?"

Ao Peng opened the destiny chart.

A person born with a 5 tael and 9 mace destiny, upon careful analysis, possesses a wonderful and clear character. They are destined for high talent and excellent manners, and should have a place among the top scholars, displaying great power and glory.

This does indeed fit Ao Wu's situation quite well.

He gave a vague answer, saying, "We're born from the same mother, so we're about the same age, just a little shorter."

After saying that, Ao Peng gave Ao Wu 5000 incense sticks and a set of mental arithmetic skills.

However, he kept in mind what the experts in the strategy guide had taught him.

Incense offerings are not just about money, but also about karma; even close brothers need to keep clear accounts.

Otherwise, if he gives Ao Wu special benefits, it may seem like he's doing it for his younger brother, but who knows when Ao Wu might have to pay him back with his life.

Therefore, with the help of the system, Ao Peng gave Ao Wu a task.

[The "Lucky Person" has given you a task. The reward is 5000 incense sticks and the skill "Mental Arithmetic". Do you accept?]

Ao Wu decisively accepted.

You have accepted the quest from "The Lucky Man," who requests that you repair eight broken weapons he has acquired.

Afterwards, Ao Peng threw all the broken weapons he had drawn from the True Lord of Wealth into Ao Wu's hands. Anyway, repairing weapons isn't a guaranteed fix. As long as Ao Wu sincerely puts his heart into the repair process, then no matter the outcome, the cause and effect will be neutralized.

"Brother, where did you get all this good stuff?"

Although it was a damaged weapon, Ao Wu had been playing the game for several days and hadn't even gotten a single basic forging material.

"Smoked."

Ao Peng didn't say much, then reminded him, "When the peddler comes, remember to swipe the lucky bags first, 500 at a time. Once you get the hang of it, throw them all into the lucky bags. You'll definitely make a profit! I'm busy with other things here, so I'm logging off now."

Ao Peng left the private chat, and Ao Wu originally wanted to calm down and do his homework again.

However, with the huge sum of 5000 incense sticks in hand, plus the incense sticks he had accumulated from doing one or two small errands, he now had 5500 incense sticks.

How can I resist having so many game coins?

Ao Wu opened the game interface.

Revitalizing the old land!

[Lucky heir, you awaken in the ancient temple of Jingmen; this is your second day in Jingmen.]

You discover that you're not the only one seeking lodging in the ancient temple; besides the other inheritors resting, there's also a peddler.

[Would you choose to approach him and start a conversation?]

"yes!"

Ao Wu knew that his opportunity had come, so he quickly chose yes.

The peddler glanced at you and noticed that you resembled one of his old acquaintances.

The peddler thought for a moment, then showed you his shelves.

[Recommendation Letter from Wu Family Fortress] (Special), 5000 incense sticks. You, the newly arrived successor in Jingmen, seem to be hesitating about your future. Wu Family Fortress is skilled in forging and is rumored to have inherited the forging techniques of Ou Yezi. With this recommendation letter, you have the opportunity to directly join the inner sect.

【Embers from the Kitchen God's Incense Burner】(Low-grade Xuan level), 5000 incense sticks. These are the ashes left from the Kitchen God's incense burner, with some embers still remaining. Perhaps you can find a way to rekindle them.

【Heavy Mystic Hammer】(Low-grade Mystic), 5000 incense sticks. This is a masterpiece by a master craftsman, skilled not only in forging but also in skull crushing.

【Lucky Bag】(∞), 50 Incense+, This is a hidden lucky bag. You can put in incense, and the lucky bag will drop random items. The amount of incense you put in will affect the value of the dropped items to a certain extent, so please choose carefully.

Ao Wu stared wide-eyed. These three regularly spawning items seemed tailor-made for him. He felt that, apart from the [Heavy Profound Hammer] which he might need to hesitate about, the other two had incredibly high potential.

However, he only had 5500 incense sticks in his pocket.

However, Ao Wu gritted his teeth and chose to trust the strategy his elder brother had given him.

[You have selected a lucky bag. Please select the amount you wish to contribute.]

500 incense sticks, start!

[You threw 500 incense sticks into the lucky bag, and the bag shook, revealing a treasure.]

You have obtained a piece of black iron ore, which is the ore used to refine black iron, but you currently have no iron furnace, no furnace fire, and nothing at all.

Ao Wu's forehead veins twitched; he had already experienced the cruelty of this system.

So I simply ignored the system prompts and drew five more times.

The items dropped in these five drops were a mix of good and bad. The good item was a Heritage Flame, although it was only a low-grade Yellow level. The bad items were just some fragments of ore, without even a blueprint.

On the seventh time, Ao Wu felt a connection and quickly threw the remaining incense sticks in all at once.

The lucky bag shook violently, and a treasure fell out.

You have acquired the Wild Forging skill!

The peddler glanced at the forging skill you had acquired and chuckled, "This is a forging skill from another land. You're quite the lucky lad." Then, without lingering, he rose and left the ancient temple.

Ao Wu quickly activated the [Wild Forging Technique], and the next moment, the forging technique transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

In an instant, Ao Wu seemed to have entered a dark cave, inhabited by a large number of small, stout people with grayish-white skin.

They had thick beards, drank strong liquor, and wielded heavy hammers.

They produced masterpieces of weaponry one after another like a flowing river.

Among these grey dwarves was an outlier. To the horror of the rest of the grey dwarves, he added a series of strange and unusual materials to the steel furnace, including the roots of stone, bull's milk, the sound of cat footsteps, and the shadows of sunlight. Then he roared, "Forging is..."

Before he could finish speaking, the boiling furnace exploded with a deafening roar, flames raging like meteors and engulfing the entire Grey Dwarf Kingdom, leaving only an invisible chain and a golden iron plate inscribed with the strange script "Wild Forging Technique".
